Personally I think a lot of Meeke's good (result)/pace here is also down to the change of codriver. It's just calm and relax in the car, before it sounded like massive drama/stress in all the time.

It's more complex than that. Maybe the whole team around him caused much more stress last year. It could be interesting to see how Lappi goes along with the French.

MC never disappoints! Although we have experienced more unpredictable MC's in the past in terms of weather, this year's edition was definitely worth of watching. Some thoughts about best drivers:
- Seb Ogier: stunning, amazing, magnificent; practically unrepeatable….he has always one more as in the sleeve compare to other drivers. It is his home yard...I hope we will not forget all the praises on his account during this weekend when he will not be so convincing. Deep respect!
- Neuville: congrats, he is fast, just small mistake took a victory away, but this is MC. But still I'm not sure if he will be a titel contender this year.
- Tanak: well, I would not care for the result this weekend (by the way-3rd position is not bad start into new season…), the guy is ''mind blowing'' fast, at the moment without real competition. If his driving is not going to be to aggressive, nothing (nobody) can stop him.
- Loeb: maybe not happy, but again: one week ago he made a first test, he was pushing and the speed was not there, but 9x times WC will definitely improve. He is big positive gain for the team.
- JM Latvala: disaster, if he will not show some solid performance during first half of the season, ''the village team'' can fire him…
- Meeke: in my eyes he fulfilled the expectations. With more miles he can close to the top (but never to Tanak)
- Mikkelsen: stupid mistake, an event to forget….I do not expect something special from him in the future.....
- Lappi: first rally in a new car, if my memory serves me well, he was never fast in MC, so waiting for few more events….

It's been one rally though. He has had better results here twice for Citroën. It's a really good start, but you could say the same about 2014 as well.

Citroen is the car that has to be worked on but they have a winner. Neuville lost it due to his mistake

Well, compare Loeb in Citroen and Hyundai and say then what car needs more work.

If Hyundai doesn´t major step Neuville can win only some twisty rallies and WDC will be between Ogier and Tänak.

It will be interesting to see if the change in management, and Loeb’s input bring about some improvements in the car on its weaker events.

Comparing with Loeb is also tricky. New team, not only a new car but a car built with different philosophy, very little testing (consider that Loeb always worked only with Citroën and French before). The fact he went to the event nearly directly from two weeks of very physically demanding Dakar sure also played a role, especially because Loeb isn't young anymore (it was also on the other side of the Globe).
